The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public today!! If you’ve been shopping the sale like I have, you know this year there are so many amazing deals! I am hoping to pick up a few more goodies today as they restock the sale for the public!
Today I am sharing some of the pieces I picked up during early access (and a few pieces I already owned and are part of the sale!). I am still waiting on a few packages to arrive, but hope to update this with pictures when I get them (hopefully a few arrive later today)! I have shared a little bit of insight on each piece. I have styled a few of these pieces multiple ways! Scroll all the way to the bottom for shoe reviews!
FYI: I am 5’3 and usually a xs/s in tops and a 25 in bottoms. My shoe size is 7!
Long Sleeve Tee // Suede Jacket // Denim // Booties
Halogen Long Sleeve Striped Tee (NOW: $25 // AFTER SALE: $39 // SIZE: XS): This long sleeve tee is a closet staple. It’s super soft and stretchy and extremely lightweight. I love the tighter fit, which makes it perfect for tucking into bottoms. It gives the look of a bodysuit without the inconvenience of one. This is a layering piece I know I will get a ton of wear out of this fall and winter. It comes in a variety of colors and I’ve already added a few more to my cart.
BLANKNYC Next Level Suede Moto Jacket (NOW: $126 // AFTER SALE: $188 // SIZE: XS): I purchased the BLANKNYC Morning Suede Jacket in coffee bean 3 years ago and still wear it all the time. When I saw the gorgeous grey option, I knew I had to snag it! I love that this one doesn’t have the bottom belt buckle that the Morning Suede version’s do. This jacket fits like a glove and the suede is buttery soft. I have a small in my Morning Suede jacket, but decided to go with an XS in this one for a closer fit. If you plan on layering chunky sweaters, I would size up, but otherwise, stick to your regular size.
Good American High Waist Skinny Jeans (NOW: $113 // AFTER SALE: $169 // SIZE: 00): If you are going to splurge on one piece of denim, let it be these. I have never loved a pair of jeans like I do these! The fit is SO GOOD. It’s an incredibly flattering cut and I feel like they would look good on any body shape, and trust me, these do your booty alllll the favors. Every year I splurge on a pair of dark wash denim that I can wear in the classroom and I am so excited to throw these into the rotation!
Tee // Ribbed Cardigan // Denim // Flats // Hat
BP V-Neck Tee (NOW: $12 // AFTER SALE: $15 // SIZE: XS): Now is the time to stock up on these basic tees! These are great for everyday wear and layering. I always end up picking them up in a few colors. I get questions on how they wash all the time and have had no issues in the past! I usually wash and then hang dry a couple of times before deciding I don’t really care and throwing them in the dryer, lol. I do think they run a bit big and suggest sizing down, unless you like the oversized look!
Topshop Long Cardigan (NOW: $45 // AFTER SALE: $68 // SIZE: ): This is the cozy cardi of my dreams! I ended up snagging this ribbed cardigan in two colors and know it’s going to be on repeat all fall and winter long. This is the ultimate cozy cardigan and is perfect for layering. Teachers, this is a GREAT find for cold days in the classroom! I usually size down in sweaters from this brand, but I guess wasn’t paying attention when I ordered because I ended up with smalls. This cardi is very oversized, but the size small actually works. Size down if you don’t want a super slouchy fit!
Free People Ripped High Waist Skinny Jeans (NOW: $52 // AFTER SALE: $78 // SIZE: 26): My all time favorite denim, I own this pair in a few washes and was so excited to see it was part of the sale this year! They do run small…make sure to size up!

Topshop Supersoft Deep Hem Crewneck Sweater (NOW: $45 // AFTER SALE: $68 // SIZE: XS): This sweater is SO cozy! This is the type of oversized goodness I live in during the winter time. It’s a pretty heavy knit, so if you live somewhere that doesn’t get too cold, you might want to skip out on this one. However, if you live somewhere the temps drastically drop, this is the cozy knit for you! This is one that will layer perfectly when it is freezing out!

This is the first year you can preview majority of the sale online! I have already been adding items to my wishlist for easy access when I can start shopping. I’m looking for new fall pieces to add to my wardrobe, especially shoes and denim. I always find great deals on new staples for work too, because we all know one of the best parts of being a teacher is going back to school shopping. There are a lot of great beauty deals that are too good to pass up. It’s also a great time to stock up on fall and winter must haves for the entire family (hello new winter coat at a discount!). Get ahead of your shopping by adding your picks to a wishlist and figuring out your game plan!
The sale will start Wednesday, August 19 and runs until Sunday, August 30. However, if you are a Nordy Club member, you can shop the sale starting as early as August 4 during Early Access. Nordy Club members can get up to 15 days (what?!) to shop the sale before it is even open to the public. When you can shop depends on your Nordy Club status. Why does it matter you ask? These items are new and discounted and hot ticket items often sell out before the sale even opens to the public. Shopping starts at 9:30 am ET/6:30 am PT for each status daily.
Obviously you can head to your nearest Nordstrom to shop the sale (make sure to mask up!), but I prefer shopping
